Question

material in the milky way is being recycled as new stars form from gas that was once part of old stars. place the steps in this star - gas cycle in the correct order, starting with a new star forming. a new star forms in the far future (perhaps 1 trillion years), where will most of the milky ways gas be? it will be located in low - mass stars and white dwarfs. it will be in hot superbubbles of ionized gas. it will still be recycling like it is today.

Explanation:

Over long - time scales, as stars go through their life - cycles, low - mass stars and white dwarfs will hold most of the gas in the Milky Way. Low - mass stars burn fuel very slowly and white dwarfs are remnants that still hold a significant amount of the original stellar material. Hot superbubbles of ionized gas are more of a short - term feature in the star - gas cycle, and the recycling process will slow down as most of the gas gets locked up in these long - lived stellar remnants.

Answer:

It will be located in low - mass stars and white dwarfs.
